THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

In January, 1852, the authorities Of New
York city wanted lease of Reservoir square
for the purposes of the American exposition
The lease extended for five years, but two
conditions were made, that the building
should be constructed entirely of iron and
glass, and that no single entrance fee should
exceed fifty cents. In March of the same
year the legislature granted a charter for the
Association for the exhibition of the indus
try of all nations" The Inauguration Of the
palace was on July IA, 1858, when President
Pierce delivered an address, and the musical
and other exercises were Of the most elabo-
rate description.
For some time the Crystal Palace was a
strong attraction to visitors. Theodore Sedg-
wick was the first president of the associa-
ton. He resigned at the end of the year and
was succeeded by P. T. Barnum, but that
gentleman's untiring efforts did not put the
association entirely on its feet. One of Mr..
Barnum's most successful moves was a re-
Inauguration in May, 1854. Henry Ward
Beecher and Elihu Burritt were orators and
the reinauguration was conducted with great
eclat throughout. The palace became piece
of dead property, however, in 1856 On Oct.
9, 1858, the building was totally destroyed by
fire There were several thousand people In
the palace at the time the fire was discovered,
but all escaped uninjured. The loss to exhib-
itors was about 100000 1t is supposed the
fire was of incendiuy origin.

NEW Works. PRIDE IN 1855 RE-
CALLED BY A DEATH.

Christian 4. DetmoId and tho Part lie
Played In the Furtherance Of the En-
terprise-Picture and Description of the
BuiIding-DetmoId's Life.
The death of Christian f. DetmOld, who
was the super Intending architect and engineer
of the New York Crystal Palace, has brOu%ht
out "reminiscences of that great enterprise.
Mr.. DetmOld established himself in New York
when quite young man. He was a native
Of Hanover, Germany. Although he almost
at once established an excellent reputation as
a civil engineer, his first great work, and the
one which brought him into prominence
everywhere, was in connection with the
American exposition.
This enterprise was conceived, no doubt,
through the large number of Americans who
attended the Crystal Palace exposition in
England. Mr.. Detmold took a prominent
part in all the agitation which preceded put
ting the idea Of the American exposition in
operation, and to him was due about all the
success the ill fated venture attained. After
the collapse Of the exposition Mr.. Detmold
went to Europe, and later made his residence
in Paris.
Although the American Crystal Palace
exposition was the cause at the time Of re-
markable agitation and discussion Of the
question in many ways by all the American
newspapers, it is a singular fact that very
little data is now obtainable about the enter
prise. In securing picture of the Crystal
Palace, almost every souri,, for obtaining it
was exhausted, and when a small book by the
architects of the building was obtained,
which contains a cut of the palace, the libra
rian of the New York Mercantile library,
where 1t was secured, asked that great care
be exercised in handling the book, and that
it be returned promptly, as it was considered
valuable.

wharf property in Brooklyn and jersey City
has been one cause for this reviving inter-
est. In Brooklyn the valuation has in
creased 10 the amount of S@0,COO 600 within
the past ten years, and in Jersey City and
Hoboken the increase has been about Sl0,-

month go 20 Brooklyn for wharf facilities
that they cannot get in New York, and many
of the ocean steamers now land at the Jersey

ferry privilege at Bergen Point Should
they build a hreakwater they could have n

things have brought about consideration Of

Kansas City's Great Show

Kansas City is going to have big show

ton will open early in September, and the
contractors are hurrying along the work of
getting the great building ready.
The structure stands in the middle of a
forty acre tract of land about mile and a
half from the city's postoffice and will be
easily reached by various transit lines. James
Goodwin is president; Hamilton S. Wicls, vice
president and secretary; John W. Ryckman,
manager, and F. j. W. Hart, architect of the
enterprise. The building will possess four
entrances and will cover an area of ground
255 by 24O feet in extent. 1t will be of stone,

Metropolitan Civilization.

DR.. H. Pereira Mendes, one of the best
known Hebrew rabbis in this country, puts a
great truth tersely and well when he SAYS:
Humanity is not religionized if wtmen need
escort of a night" He might have added, a
city is not civilized so long as women without
an escort must go hungry in its streets of a
night, as a woman novelist, whose name is
known over this country and Europe, has
done in New York within a fortnight, be-
cause no restaurant, until she could provide
herself with male acquaintance, would serve
her meal.-Kansas City Journal

so expensive have been these improvements.
The total quay space of Liverpool is nearly
twenty miles, covering an area of 26O acres,
containing fifty-four docks and basins. The
Albert dock alone cost el4l 600 The magnif-
cent structures covering the river front there,
and, as shown by our cut, at Manchester, are
so vastly superior to anything at New York
that it would be supposed new world enter
prise would do something TO make the differ
ence less striking. The Manchester docks
are Of solid masonry, and although not so ex-
tensive as those of Liverpool, are wonderfully
complete and massive structures as compared
with the best of New York's quays.

NEW YORK. properly improved,
could accommodate all the shipping of the
world.
Almost in the shadow of BROOKLYN bridge
are several striking examples of water front
properties that could be improved and made
magnificent piers. The jackson street dock
is one of these-a weaving, rickety combina-
ton of rotten timbers and plank-with totter-
ing posts and thousand patches about it.
1t has long been condemned, but still stands,
though used only by garbage scows. "a
dilapidated wagon stood upon it the other
day." says a New York writer, ''and the
planks were strewn with moldy rags spread
out to dry. A scow filled with sweltering
garbage lay near the shore, and some men
were busy at work sitting coal elevated from
barges below. A crowd of gamins, nude as
Adam before the fig leaf interval, were diving
from the shaky framework, most of them
clambering upon the woodwork when the
artist was seen making sketch, evidently
under the impression that their charms would
add materially to the effect of his picture. In
each direction were piers evidently in a con-
dition little better than that of the one illus
trated. On shore were old carts, piles Of scrap
iron, refuse and barrels, well set off in the
background by dilapidated buildings, an ex-
cellent argument for the advocates Of city
control of the water 'front.'
Illustrative Of these arguments, it is cited

The Boodlers, Revenge

The Boodlers have had their re-
yenge on Assistant District Attorney
Nicoll OF New York. They have
defeated his election to the higher
place to which his services entitled
him. Mayor Hewett and President
Cleveland in a sense made common
cause with them. To be well served
the principal must always be ready
not only to acknowledge ability and
integrity, but reward it at the proper
time. The people, it must be said,
are often very remiss in this matter.
The public officer who fights cor
ruption, at the end OF his term usu-
ally finds himself at the mercy OF
the corruptionists. Nicoll would
not have been heard OF in New
York for the nomination. but foi
some of the newspapers. AS il
was, he has been defeated because
enough OF interest was not felt in Sc
curing his election by the people a
large.
